Is there any plan to include GetSymbol in Backtesting?

It currently works in a live environment, but I can not actually test if my algorithm will be profitable over the long term, so I am not willing to risk it.

Any update on the subject would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Dan

RE:

Hi Dan,

We are planning to work on multi symbol backtesting in the near future. This task has high priority as it's a second top voted request from our users.

If you didn't vote for this feature, please leave your vote here:

Hi,

I'm interested in this too (and have previously voted for it), as I expect most calgo users are.

When you say the near future can you quantify that more, i.e. within 3 months, 6 months a year etc...  Spotware have said this is on the priority list previously, but previously in the case is over the last couple of years so doesn't add much credibility that it will actually happen.

For me, and I expect other users, is a lacking feature that is stopping me from migrating my strategies to Ctrader.

Thanks

RE:

Hi Tmfd,

In couple months we are planing to start working on this. Currently we are finishing with top requested feature - Visual Backtesting (see image below). One of the next planned feature is multi symbol backtesting.

Best Regards,
Andrey
